circlip

A circlip (a portmanteau of "circle" and "clip"), also known as a C-clip, Rotor Clip, snap ring or Jesus clip, is a type of fastener or retaining ring consisting of a semi-flexible metal ring with open ends which can be snapped into place, into a machined groove on a dowel pin or other part to permit rotation but to prevent lateral movement. There are two basic types: internal and external, referring to whether they are fitted into a bore or over a shaft. Circlips are often used to secure pinned connections.

    Armitage tap circlip

    Can anybody help me locate a circlip for a 15 year old Armitage tap. It is shaped like 3 sides of a square, rather than the conventional circular shape. If anybody can help me, I would be very grateful, as I really don't want to buy 2 new taps for the sake of a lost washer! Thanks in advance...
